1. Sacramento, California
In 2010, a US-based demonstration waste-to-energy system was commissioned in the
Sacramento, CA area at a commercial research and development foundry named Technikon.
Technikon desired a plasma gasification system to potentially treat US Army waste streams
under Department of Defense and Department of Energy contracts.
Locating and permitting a waste-to-energy system in California - arguably the most stringent air
emission state in the US - illustrates the minimal environmental footprint associated with the
plasma gasification technology.
